The Stonewalling Continues
Two sources familiar with the decision tell NPR that Holder, 63, intends to leave the Justice Department as soon as his successor is confirmed, a process that could run through 2014 and even into next year. [More]I can't wait to see who Obama picks for that -- and how much we rabble-rousers will need to scream to embarrass Fairfax into grading the confirmation vote.
And, of course, once there's no longer anything political to gain by going after Holder, the Republicans won't, meaning forget about ever getting to the bottom of Fast and Furious and so much else. Meanwhile, he'll be in high establishment demand and will land on his feet quite nicely and lucratively.
We're the Only Ones Trigger-Happy Enough
After seeing the video in court, Groubert's attorney, former Fifth Circuit Solicitor Barney Geise, says that his client is not guilty and is looking forward to his day in court. [More]Hey, it was standard protocol, he wanted to make it home at the end of his shift, try walking a mile in his shoes, why don't you cop-bashers call someone else next time you need to be saved, and God bless our community heroes.

The prosecutor had to realize this was a political loser, but I guess they couldn't just let her go with an apology for bothering her. I can't help but wonder if a less sympathetic defendant would have faced a different outcome.
In a rational world, everyone who held -- and is still holding, with the mandated appearances -- this woman hostage for exercising her right would be doing time themselves.
I've asked her attorney, Evan Nappen, if she'll be a prohibited person when the smoke clears. My guess is "No," but this is New Jersey. I'll update this if/when I get a response.
UPDATE: Per Evan, via Facebook message:

‘Everytown’ marks political debut by endorsing safe candidates
Just as the billionaire-funded Astroturfers pose as the grassroots, the overabundance of safe selections, guaranteed to give them a track record of victories they can them claim as proof of their political wallop, is all part of the carefully-staged illusion-making.

The sum of the intelligence which they bring concerning negociations for peace, is that the sincerity manifested at one period by the Court of London in her advances towards a pacification had been succeeded by an apparent design to draw the negociations into length with a hope of such further advantages during the campaign as would enable her to rise in her demands.

Leniency for ‘anti-violence activist’ who took gun to school suggests favoritism
Adding to the dubious nature of the sentence, where Ferguson evidently has avoided a felony conviction and thus becoming a “prohibited person” from owing a gun, is the fact that he was also a committed anti-gun activist, being a big supporter of New York’s SAFE Act, which carries felony criminal penalties for violators. He actually thought the law did not go far enough. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes if you're going to get popped for breaking "gun laws," it helps if you're one of those demanding more of them.

Bear Necessities
I don't need to outrun the bear. I only need to outrun you. [More]
John Comeau reminds his Facebook followers of that, and notes it's not so funny when it happens in real life.
I'm glad that when I had my surprise evening black bear encounter years back, I had a gun. I don't claim that's what persuaded it to leave me alone, but I do believe it probably had some bearing on my demeanor, and that could have had the effect of allowing me to draw, take aim, talk gentle and low, slowly back away, and get the kids in the cabin. I'm also pretty happy that when I initially yelled in shock on seeing the thing 20 feet away, it sounded more like a roar and less like a screaming little girl. And I'm delighted that I didn't have to find out if what I had to stop it with would be "enough."
Finding out later two idiot city women had been leaving food scraps for it on the ground and watching from their balcony did not sit well with me at all. If I had to bet, my money says they'd have been horrified at the thought of a nearby "gun nut."

The Limping Creep
The film is "tracking best with older males," meaning there ought to be a significant number of gun owners in the audience the producers are counting on.
That means there are a significant number of potential ticket buyers we can clue in to why helping this creep get even richer with their money is like giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
We can't do organized boycotts on everything -- but when an easy target of opportunity presents itself, why not take the shot?
"Authorized Journalists/Real Reporters/Legitmate News Media" Defending the Stone Wall
Once again they are failing to inform. See for yourself: There are plenty of hits on Kelly Terry-Willis' name on a regular web search -- but a NEWS search produces only one result, and that should be an object lesson to all on shameful media complicity/sins of omission.
She sent her statement out two days ago, and being a one-man operation, I needed to wait until yesterday to make time for it. What excuse do "news" organizations, with staff and resources, have for not reacting by or even before now? As you can also see, just like with the Reese family and so many stories, if this is to get out, we can't rely on anyone but ourselves.
